SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Refinancing
In February 2018, the Company completed debt transactions which:
amended its revolving credit facility, by increasing the capacity from $1,050 million to $1,400 million and extending the maturity date from October 2020 to February 2023 (the "New Revolving Credit Facility");
refinanced the existing aggregate $733 million Term Loan A and Term Loan A-1 tranches due October 2020 and July 2021, respectively, into a new single tranche of $750 million Term Loan A due February 2023 (which included incremental borrowings of $17 million) (the "New Term Loan A"). The New Term Loan A Facility provides for quarterly amortization payments on the last day of each quarter, totaling per annum 2.5%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan A, commencing June 30, 2018, with the balance of the New Term Loan A due in full on February 8, 2023; and
refinanced the existing $1,083 million Term Loan B due July 2022 with a new Term Loan B issued at par in the amount of $1,080 million and with a maturity date in February 2025 (the "New Term Loan B").
The interest rates with respect to the New Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan A are the same that had been in place under Term Loan A-1 and are based on, at the Company's option, adjusted LIBOR or ABR plus an additional margin subject to adjustments based on the Company’s then current senior secured leverage ratio. The interest rate and amortization with respect to New Term Loan B is unchanged. The other terms of the New Revolving Credit Facility, New Term Loan A and New Term Loan B are substantially the same as those in place prior to the transactions.
Adoption of New Share Repurchase Program
On February 26, 2018, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $350 million of the Company's common stock, which is in addition to the remaining authorization available under the February 2017 share repurchase program. Repurchases under the new program may be made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these repurchases will depend on price, market and economic conditions, legal and contractual requirements and other factors. Similarly, the new repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
